Smile...!

Hardly out of the belly we have been required to start the process of applying for Silja's passports. Now, to get a (valid) passport photo of a 2-3 week old infant is NOT an easy task. This week I have been going to the photographer several times, but by the time I reached the place Silja was sound asleep in the stroller, and I couldn't bare to wake her up for a stupid photo. We finally managed to get there yesterday with an awake yet sleepy baby, and tried our best to have her look into the camera after instructions from the photographer. (How the heck do you do that?) The result didn't fully match the requirements of the standard passport photo, but her passport applications were accepted nevertheless.
